They gave me the opportunity to come here. They had confidence in me, and I have confidence in myself that things are going to work out.

You feel like you're almost an actor - auditioning for a spot. And I'm hoping to get back into the flow of things this week.

Coach (Henry) Mason has told me that he doesn't want me back at half-speed. I'm definitely going to wait until it's healed correctly and I'm able to compete at my highest level.

I think that would be very difficult to sustain. It would always allow an opportunity to the fellow not blocking it to take customers.

I'm thankful for the opportunity I have ahead of me now. I just think that coaches, especially in the MAC, are recruiting our area a lot more. It's a great place for football. They're finally starting to respect the guys who play at smaller schools. I'm excited for everyone.

I have a lot of confidence in our running game with Jon Cornish and Clark Green back there. Clark has a lot of experience and maturity and Jon is starting to pick it up. With Jon's pure athletic ability, we get into good situations.
